traditionally, the legislatures of the colonies held the authority to pay the governors, so a governor's salary could be withheld if the legislature became unhappy with any particular decision. the legislature could, in effect, force the governor into submission. once this important leverage was removed, the governors could be more free to oppose the colonial legislatures.
